Nestled in one of Colinton's most exclusive and sought-after residential addresses, Laverockdale Cottage is an exceptionally attractive detached family home that seamlessly blends Edinburgh's rich heritage with contemporary family living. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Pentland Hills and bordered by a charming burn, this remarkable home offers an enviable lifestyle in one of the capital's most desirable suburbs.
The original section of the property comprises a beautifully restored Category C Listed former tannery, full of character and architectural charm. Thoughtfully designed and sympathetically maintained, this unique historic building provides an abundance of period appeal, while a substantial modern extension has been carefully added in recent years to create a home perfectly suited to modern family life. The result is an impressive fusion of old and new, delivering generous and flexible accommodation extending to approximately 1,719 sq ft.
At the heart of the home is a superb kitchen and dining space, ideal for everyday family life and entertaining alike, while the elegant sitting room enjoys a wonderful outlook and an abundance of natural light. The accommodation offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a generous principal suite with en-suite shower room, alongside a contemporary family bathroom.
Externally, Laverockdale Cottage is equally impressive. The south-facing garden is a true sun trap, providing a private and peaceful setting for outdoor dining, family gatherings and summer entertaining. The gentle sound of the neighbouring burn enhances the calming atmosphere, creating a wonderful sense of escape despite being only a short distance from Edinburgh's city centre.
A particularly rare feature for a property in such a prestigious location is the extensive off-road parking, with space for multiple vehicles within the private grounds.
Colinton remains one of Edinburgh's most desirable residential districts, prized for its village atmosphere, access to outstanding green space and excellent connectivity. The property enjoys superb access to the Pentland Hills Regional Park, the Water of Leith Walkway and an excellent range of local amenities, cafés and independent shops.
The area is especially popular with families due to its proximity to some of Edinburgh's finest schools, including George Watson's College, Merchiston Castle School and George Heriot's School. The property also falls within the catchment area for highly regarded Bonaly Primary School and Firrhill High School, making it an outstanding choice for families seeking access to excellent schooling options.
Combining historical character, contemporary design, exceptional schooling and an idyllic setting with Pentland Hills views, Laverockdale Cottage represents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly distinctive family home in one of Edinburgh's most coveted locations.
